The HDNet era for Ring Of Honor was produced by HDNet themselves in 1080i (16:9 native). However since the Sinclair buyout of the company and sequential move over to semi-national syndication the show is sent out in 480p (16:9 but protected for 4:3 since most markets oddly broadcast it in 4:3 even on the HD station). The show itself is filmed in 720p so any footage being taped now can be used in the future when the show does eventually go to being sent out to stations in 720p (which is reportedly happening in the next year or so).

My life is now complete. The new season of Cheaters is in HD. LOL, but it is one of guilty pleasures. Love to see all the crazy people from the DFW metro and think it's funny that they pretend the show is not only exclusive to DFW area.

Also, after 10 years of Joey Greco, now coinciding with the HD change, they changed hosts. It's now Clark Gable, as in the grandson of THE Clark Gable. But this Clark Gable has the personality of a wet blanket. Crazy how a very cheaply made syndicated show can go HD but not something like Big Brother on CBS.

Looks like syndicated shows will debut their new seasons on Sept. 16. Will be an opportunity to see if any of the 16:9 shows upgrade to HD. Springer, Maury, Trisha, and Steve Wilkos are all produced out of NBC's facilities in Stamford, so it may or may not be an all-or-nothing proposition. Last year they all transitioned to 16:9.

The Jeremy Kyle Show was not renewed for a third season per Wikipedia, so it can be dropped from the list.

The CW has dropped Cubix and Power Rangers from its Saturday morning lineup, but added Sonic X. It continues to air Yu-Gi-Oh and Rescue Heroes, all per Wikipedia.

At CBS, Face the Nation and CBS News Up to the Minute went HD in November 2012, though looking at Face the Nation right now, it doesn't look very good. Big Brother also went HD this summer, and Let's Make a Deal began HD production in June, per Wikipedia. With these last two developments, CBS is now 100% HD.

At the CW, the Vortexx Saturday morning programming block is being replaced with a new live-action block called One Magnificent Morning, produced by CBS. Presumably this will be all HD.

At Fox, I believe Hell's Kitchen is now HD (correct me if I'm wrong), putting Fox at 100% HD. If not, a new season debuts on Sept. 10 to check in.

At NBC, I couldn't find information on whether Mad Money is still part of NBC's overnight block, but the show went full HD on Aug. 4, 2014, so it presumably airs in HD now regardless, putting NBC at 100% HD.

That leaves only what is essentially syndicated programming not in HD, and all of this went 16:9 SD as of September 2012. Of these, Trisha has also been cancelled. I don't know what the status of Bethenny was, but it's now cancelled.

With new seasons of these programs kicking off in a little under a month, we could be reaching the end of the line for the Broadcast HD List of Shame. We are rapidly approaching the point where we'll be able to identify the last show broadcast in SD. I've updated the list to identify where the production is taped.

Matt, Face the Nation is still in SD.... The confusion seems to stem from some shows they did from NYC in the fall 2012 (Election Year) which were in HD from CBS News-NYC... For whatever quaint reason, their permanent studios in DC are still not producing HD, only widescreen SD... Perhaps we should ask Bob Schieffer what's going on, don't know if he's on twitter....

Let's Make a Deal looks like it will debut the HD shows on Monday, 9-22-14 (their website shows last repeat airing on Friday, 9-19-14) ....

So, until Face the Nation upgrades the DC studios to HD we should still have CBS in the HD Hall of Shame, last major network still not 100% HD....

The last Hell's Kitchen I saw this summer was still in SD, so FOX is also not 100% HD.... I think the new 4K upscaling TV's are making all these widescreen SD shows look very good, and thus, the confusion...

Divorce Court had been airing in widescreen SD thru last season, don't know why this thread pulled it off the Hall of Shame last year.... Yesterday, 9-8-14 it aired its first HD show.... I confirmed it with the Assistant Engineer at the local FOX station, WSVN-7, Miami....

We should now keep an eye on the rest of the shows on the syndicated list above .... Most of them will debut the new season next Monday, 9-15-14...
